3 The Common Agriculture Policy 3 The CAP is the EU s major policy instrument, impacting agricultural practices, environmental sustainability, and the economic livelihood of rural areas. Aid payments (1 st and 2 nd pillars) still the largest single component of the EU annual budget. Major CAP goal is the responsible and sustainable use of rural resources However, the correct management and control of these payments is a major task for Member States and the Commission. GeoCAP provides technical support for CAP implementation

4 CAP expenditures Budget 2010 Total: 58 billions 40 Billions Direct aids 14 Billions Rural development 8.1 million aid applications in EU 10 EU 12 EU 15 EU 25 EU 27

6 Geo information and Geomatics for the CAP 6 CAP legislation (since 2000) requires: geo-referenced information, on-line supported by up-to-date national image datasets Council Reg. 1782/03, Art 20 requires GIS use from 1/1/2005; the Integrated Administration and Control System (IACS). Imagery (satellite, aerial) GNSS (GPS) GIS (LPIS, )

7 Digital Land Parcel System (LPIS) 7 Reference parcel (Administration) In IACS-GIS Land Parcel Identification System claimed parcel (Farmers) Acts as reference frame for Aid application Stable over time Boundary stored in GIS Use eligibility recorded officially 123xyz 987xyz 1.23ha Has unique identifier Location in aid application Use declared by farmer 1.02ha 987xyz 1.23ha May be unstable over time Area claimed by farmer Locates land Area officially known Prevents Double Declaration Contracted area in application Controlled object Payment calculation

8 Digital Land Parcel System (LPIS) 8 SIGPAC Spanish LPIS Access via Web Farmers 70 millions recintos (reference parcel) 90 millions reference parcel in EU27 A key element of the IACS systems Improve the sustainable management of the CAP Efficient support to farmer and Administration

9 Subsidies checks with Remote Sensing (CwRS) 9 QuickBird <1m April TM 30 m Decembre 1.6 ha ha parcel declared as as pasture Focus today is on image products with < 1m GSD 1:10,000 mapping scale Spot 20 m July Spot 10 m March CwRS = 70% of total On-The-Spot checks ( in 2009; EU27) Nb: OTS checks > 5% of total farmers claims

10 Subsidies checks on the field 10 Buffer i width Measurements a i and a i+1 Measuring fields Certification procedures (legal requirement) Buffer i+1 width Reference area a ref and perimeter p ref

11 GAEC check with Remote Sensing 11 GAEC STANDARD: Maintenance of terraces, Keeping their drainage capacity, avoid risk of erosion ARCHIVE ORTHOPHOTO VHR IMAGE OF THE CURRENT YEAR [Ref. Sardon, MARS PAC Annual Conf. 2007]

12 GAEC check with Remote Sensing 12 GAEC Standard: Retention of landscape features (hedges, pond, trees in line, in group or isolated Archive orthophoto (2003) Ikonos VHR image from The more we go the more we need accurate exhaustive view

13 What s for the future? 13 Detailed characterization of rural landscapes (Managed through LPIS) Landscape features (location, type) Hedgerow Group of trees Isolated trees Pond Ancient monument Land use / land cover Arable land pasture Forest Permanent crop Eligibility of land 100% eligible

14 What s for the future? LPIS + Satellite imagery + additional GIS layers (Digital Elevation Model, ) 14 Location of: Parcels in vulnerable zones, rivers and green cover buffer, features.. 3D view of rural landscape Provide relevant information to farmers (digital, paper) Increase awareness on Cross Compliance (Advice: FAS) Reduce risk of infringements Sound management of rural areas (LPIS as cornerstone)

15 Management of rural areas Management of Co-existence (GMO non-gmo) 15 GMO maize field Minimum buffer distance from GMO field Maize field not authorized

16 Management of rural areas 16 Locate buffer strips to protect water bodies Ploughed crop Other parcels Potential buffer strips Hydrographic network Zones Natura 2000 Priority Potential buffer strips The more informed is the farmer, the less infringements are expected

17 Other further development Full record keeping of farm activities IACS/LPIS as background 17 Electronic farm book Full geo-traceability of food at farm gate Farm Certification (Low carbon farming practice )
